Join us for the inaugural UCL Ear Institute / Royal National ENT Voice Course, a comprehensive and cutting-edge program designed for ENT clinicians, trainees, and speech and language therapists looking to advance their skills in the assessment and management of voice disorders. 

Hosted at the world-renowned Royal National ENT Hospital and University College London, the course brings together leading experts in laryngology, voice science, and phonosurgery to deliver an immersive blend of lectures, live demonstrations, and hands-on training. 

The full course includes a half-day session for delegates wishing to gain practical competencies in the VOIS implant system and laser techniques. Laser certification is available on completion of the practical section. 

The two day in person course will be supplemented by:

• Lecture based sessions
• Small group sessions focused on learning specific skills
• Practical skills training with surgical instruments and anatomical models
• Case based discussions to enable open discussion between delegates and experts

• Develop a thorough understanding of the anatomy and physiology of voice production
• Acquire the skills to take a comprehensive patient history for individuals with voice disorders, including professional voice users such as singers
• Learn to assess the voice in a clinical setting using endoscopy, stroboscopy, and voice acoustic analysis
• Gain insight into the best treatment approaches for common voice disorders
• Build technical proficiency in performing thyroplasty and handling microsurgical instruments

The 2026 schedule will be shared soon.
